Martensville man searching for Good Samaritan who helped dying dad

James Koroll has spent the last seven days mourning his father — and searching for the Good Samaritan who called paramedics and assisted Koroll’s dad in the final moments of his life.

“I’d just love to thank them so much for being a caring individual, and tell them a little bit about my dad — let them know what he meant to me,” Koroll said Friday in an interview.

Koroll’s father, Patrick Cashman, died suddenly while driving on Millar Avenue near Marquis Drive around 4 p.m. on Nov. 2. Cashman had been with a friend loading some lumber when he started feeling tired, Koroll said.

“I don’t think he made it very far up Millar,” said Koroll, who lives in Martensville but was at work in Saskatoon that afternoon when a physician phoned to tell him that Cashman had been found behind the wheel in the intersection, not moving.
